The Vampire Kings Slave Mate

Chapter 19: Nikolai

I’ve been waiting on the foyer for what feels like ten minutes now and I can feel my patience warring

then. I am not use to anyone making me wait. Just as I feel I am about to explode with anger, I hear the

pitter patter of small feet, but I am not greeted with Mary’s scent, instead I am overwhelmed with the

smell of roses after the first spring rain shower.

“King Nikolai,” greets Kade’s blood slave, bowing at the wait,”

I tried to race through my brain to recall her name. Nevaeh, that’s it. That’s what Mary and Kade had

called her.

“Nevaeh,” I responded, trying to hold my temper at bay, “What is the meaning of this, where is Mary?”

Nevaeh starts to shift from one foot to the other, as she picks at her hand nervously, “Umm.. Miss Mary,

has told me to inform his highness…”

“Hurry out with it girl.” I growled, my patience on it’s last straw.

“Miss Mary has decided that she is not going.” Nevaeh rattled out nervously.

“Not going!” I growled, my aura swirling around, “WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!”

“I apologize for giving you such bad news your grace,” Nevaeh said bowing once more, baring her neck

to me in submission, “Mary seems to think a trip to the village would put her in immediate danger.”

I willed myself to calm down, I needed to get to the bottom of this, and only one person would have the

entire answer to my question. I took three big breaths, a human trait I had learned over the years of

studying them, before attempting to speak with Nevaeh again.

“Nevaeh, take one of the guards down to the village with you, and please get a weeks worth of casual

wear and formal wear for Mary, she is a size 8.”

“Ye...yes your majesty,” Nevaeh stammered, slowly turning and walking away.

I realized I had terrified the poor girl, and that wasn’t my intention. I wanted the blood slaves to have a

healthy amount of fear towards me, but I also wanted them to trust me with their well being. “And

Nevaeh,” I called, making the girl come to a halt before she slowly turned around.

“Yes, your majesty.” She asked her voice almost a whisper.

“Get yourself something nice to, Kade likes red.” I respond with a wicked smile on my face.

Nevaeh’s face flushes red, and I know Kade has already bedded her, he loves to drink from his slaves

while fucking them.

“Thank you, your highness.” Nevaeh finally chokes out, before turning and hurrying out of the room

before I can stop her again.

UP

Now to deal with my vixen of a blood slave. She was to damn stubborn and head strong for her own

good. I stood up from my seat in the foyer and thought of the Queen’s quarters, feeling my body travel

through the dimension before arriving in the room.

Mary was laying on the bed, her face towards the wall, her breathing heavy. She looked so peaceful

while she slept. I felt my heart tugging in my chest and I wanted nothing more than to watch her sleep. I

find myself walking quietly across the room, so as not to disturb her, and sitting gently on the bed. I’d let

her have this moment of peaceful relaxation, she must be exhausted from the events yesterday and

earlier today, but when she awoke, she’d have my wrath at her rejection to deal with.

MARY

I woke up feeling rested and relaxed, but that feeling quickly left when I felt a presence in the bed beside

me. Had Nevaeh decided to come back and sneak a nap in after advising Nikolai I wouldn’t be meeting

with him. I slowly turned towards the presence, not wanting to alert whoever it was that I was awake. I

felt an arm firmly grip my waist as I turned and felt a sparkle of tingles run over my body. It was Nikolai,

he’d come for me, he was the presence in the bed beside me. “Shit.” I mumbled under my breath, how

was I suppose to avoid him, when he could come and go in my room as he pleased. I slowly tried to

wiggle free, hoping he was in a deep sleep and I’d be able to make my escape.

“If you keep wiggling like that you’ll have more than my anger at you disobeying me to deal with.” Nikolai

said his voice rough from sleep.

I could feel something hard poking my backside and I realized what Nikolai was suggesting. “Don’t be

crude.” I snarled, detangling myself from him and quickly crawling off the bed.

“Where are you going?” He growled out at me.

“Not that it matters to you, but I would rather be left alone.” I hissed at him, turning to walk towards the

door.

He was in front of me, his arms around my waist, before I took a step towards the door. “Tell me Moi

Aparoleshbé, will I have to fuck the obedience into you,” He growled in my ear.

I felt a shiver run down my spine at his words, my body becoming enticed by his words, betraying my

thoughts. I tried to tug out of his grasp, he held onto me tighter, pinning me to his body.

“Why won’t you just give in to temptation,” He whispered, his hot breath on my neck, giving me

goosebumps.

“I’m not sure how the females you’ve been around like to be woo’ed but this surely can’t be it.” I

responded, sneering at him.

“Trust me,” Nikolai said, pulling away, finally letting me out of his grasps, “I’ve never had any complaints

from the females.”

I felt my body sting with jealous, why was I feeling like this. I didn’t care who Nikolai slept with, he could

do whatever and whoever he damn well pleased, as long as it wasn’t me. I took a step back away from

Nikolai, his aroma was enticing and it distracted me from my anger towards him. “Why did you

mark me?” I ask crossing my arms and glaring at him.

“Mark you?” Nikolai asked giving me a look of confusion, before he sneered at me, his words that came

next had the obvious intent to hurt me, “Why would I mark a pathetic human?”

He succeeded, his words did hurt, but I wouldn’t let someone like Nikolai, a disgusting supernatural who

had no care for anyone in the world besides himself, determine my worth. I steeled my emotions, not

allowing the hurt to show of my face.

“Whatever you think of me, still doesn’t change the fact that you marked me.” I said glaring at him,

shifting my long red hair off to the side, to expose the mark he’d left me.

He snorted, “That my dear disobedient slave is just a fang mark, usually I heal them right away, but since

we were interrupted this morning, I forgot.”
